CHAPTER XIX.

CONCLUSION.

While the more important material agencies and conditions, closely related

to the processes of life, are air, food, clothing, etc.; and while the

reader’s attention has been, throughout, mainly directed to these; it

would, from the author’s point of view, constitute a serious defect of the

work, to omit the special consideration of the moral nature——its mighty

influence over the physical state. In no better way can I impress this

thought than by quoting the language of that veteran hygienist and

reformer, Dr. James C. Jackson:

“But while a human being has a physical organization, and has, therefore,

physical laws, he is dual, possessing also a spiritual nature; and to

treat him for any disease he may have as though it originated in his body

and did not relate itself at all to his soul or spirit, is to treat him,

in ninety-nine cases in a hundred, unphilosophically and therefore

unscientifically. Our observation and experience go to satisfy us that the

majority of sick persons become disturbed and disordered in spirit before

they show disorder or derangement of body.

“To illustrate: a man never comes to be a dyspeptic until he has a false

spiritual conception of the true relations which he should hold to the use

of food; he is conceptively sick before he is physically dyspeptic; he

turns things right around in his mind; he lives to eat instead of eating

to live; he is spiritually depraved before he becomes physically diseased.

Take the methods of life common to our people. It is largely through these

that they become sick. They eat badly, drink badly, dress unhealthfully,

work without reference to their power to recover from the fatigue which

work imposes, do not get sleep enough, are in a fret, or in a worry, or in

a strife, or are under strain in their work. They work selfishly or for

their own good only, and often as against the good of others; they seek to

thrive at others’ unthrift; they buy and sell with the view in their minds

of living gainfully at others’ loss; they have a false conception, a

perverse view, of the relationships which they should hold to others, and

under this spiritual perversity they put forth their energies. As they are

inwardly wrong they become outwardly disordered, and when this disorder

develops into actual sickness it has a spiritual or wrong moral basis.

Having violated the higher law of their natures, in selfishness of thought

and feeling, they are compelled to take the reflex effects in and upon

their bodies. Living without sympathy, they become sympathetically

diseased; the sympathetic forces in their nature, lacking proper

expression or use, become debilitated and deranged, as shown in the

abnormal condition of the sympathetic nervous structure.

“For instance: a man with his liver functionally deranged appears before a

physician: The pulse shows the circulation to be disturbed; the excretory

system has become largely inactive——the skin, bowels, kidneys, and lungs

each working inefficiently or compelled to overdo. The doctor concludes

that a good dose of calomel and jalap, which enter into the allopathic

practice; or some sitz-baths, skin-rubbing, packs, or injections, which

would be the hydropathic practice; or regulation of diet, connected with

some mild alterative, which belong to the eclectic practice; or some

little pills, which would be the homœopathic practice, are what the man

needs. He is a glutton, or a wine-bibber, or he drinks whiskey, or he

lives bodily not only, but morally and spiritually on the line of

self-indulgence. He lives as he pleases, and this not merely in his animal

life. He lives spiritually as he pleases; his spirit is selfish and

lawless. Order and righteousness are not in all his thoughts. His

conscience is asleep; his intelligence is not at all on the alert; he has

no inspirations, or aspirations; he simply has unhallowed desires, and his

life consists largely in efforts to gratify these, and there he

is——disturbed, disordered, deranged, diseased, sick.

“When one thus affected comes to us, what do we do with him? We bring him

to judgment; we summon him up into the presence of the truth. We say: You

are at fault for this sickness of yours; it is not necessary for you to be

sick; you may be a healthy person, you should be. You may be free from

aches and pains, you ought to be. There is no defectiveness in your

organization; it is made to run successfully; that it does not, is your

fault, not the fault of your circumstances. What you need is right

perception and a good conscience to back it; a willingness, not only, but

a thorough will to do right. In you is ample vital force to set your liver

right, make your bowels work, make your skin carry on its insensible

perspiration, your blood circulate healthfully, and have everything done

according to law. All that is necessary is that you put your spirit, your

responsible consciousness on the throne, and make your body its servant.

When you resolve to do this and begin to do it, you will begin to get

well. You do not need medicine; you need nothing done for you in order to

get well, except to do judiciously, and, in your conditions, discretely,

what if you had done all the while would have kept you well.

“The first thing to do is, not to consult doctors: not to hunt for some

wonderful curative; but to get right ideas of life, and then begin, though

in a feeble manner, to conform yourself to that way spiritually. _Love_

the thing you are going to do; get your whole nature into a glow toward

it. If it be to eat simple food, love to do it——not do it wishing you had

not to do it. Look at the thing kindly, joyfully, comfortingly. Put away

your evil habits, one after another, because they are evil, not simply

because they hurt you. Get up a rebellion in your spirit against wrong

ways of living. Resolve that you will not live wrongly; characterize that

way as it should be characterized, as an improper, unmanly, mean, or

unbefitting way for you. Say: I will not smoke; I will not drink; I will

not make my body an instrument of gluttony; and so go through your whole

round of habits, putting away all those that you can get along without.

Reduce your artificial wants to a minimum. Throw yourself over on the line

of order and law, and regularity and propriety. Then you will get well.”

APPENDIX TO SECOND EDITION.

1 [NOTE ON DEEP BREATHING.]

A GOOD HOBBY.——On pages 84, 111, and 137 I have barely touched upon this

subject. I wish now to call attention to it as a matter worthy of greater

consideration than might perhaps be gathered from what has been said.

Personally, I begun the practice, when I was about sixteen years old, of

taking long, deep breaths occasionally, at odd times during the day, from

reading a little slip explaining its usefulness in “strengthening” the

lungs, and increasing their capacity. At the age of eighteen, I remember,

upon being examined for a life insurance policy, the examining surgeon

expressed great surprise at the unusual “swell” or expansion of my

chest——about five inches increase when my lungs were fully inflated, over

chest-measure when I had forced out as much air as I could conveniently.

Upon explaining, that for a number of years I had made a practice of

throwing my shoulders back, taking very deep inspirations slowly, holding

my breath a moment, and then as slowly “breathing out”——doing this the

first thing every morning on rising, and in a sleeping-room which was

never close, again on going out, and occasionally during the day,——the

doctor said: “A good plan that accounts for it.” In all cases of weak

lungs, whether chronic or from “taking cold” (see pp. 40 to 45 for a

consideration of the colds delusion), when it is difficult to take a full

breath on account of “cramps,” catches, or pain in the lungs, this

practice will be found of great value, if persisted in. In many instances

it seems impossible to take a long breath——is, indeed, impossible; but a

little gain may be made every day, by crowding down “one notch,” so to

say, at each trial. Quite a large percentage of all persons will find on

trial that there is more or less of tenderness upon first making the

attempt, or at one time or another, whenever there is any degree of

irritation of the stomach. The patient, or experimenter, should inspire a

little, however little, beyond the point which seems all that he can do,

and persist in this treatment every day. There can be no doubt but we have

here a most important aid in the treatment of consumption, not only, but

of all ill-conditions of the physical man. But the deep, full breathing

that comes from having exercised vigorously is best of all (see page 84).

2 [NOTE ON BRIGHT’S DISEASE.]

HOW TO EAT MEAT.——In the chapter on this subject, I have taken the

position that Albuminuria results from: (1) excess in diet; (2) the use of

foods that can not, or are not properly masticated and insalivated, as

mush, or bread wet and washed down with any sort of artificial fluids,

gravy-drowned vegetables, etc.; (3) stimulating drinks, as beer, spirits,

tea, coffee, etc.; (4) excess of animal food. To this I must add meat

eaten in a manner totally different from that in vogue with all

carnivorous animals, viz.: hashed, or tender and well chewed, instead of

being, as it should be, swallowed in pieces of convenient size——a rational

modification in the premises, surely. Dogs, wolves, cats, and the like,

are gourmands, to be sure, but this is not the fundamental reason for

their manner of gulping their natural food whole. It has been shown by

experiments that dogs fed on hashed meat suffer from indigestion, a

portion of their food passing undigested, while if fed the same quantity

of meat in chunks, no part of it appears in the excreta, but all is

perfectly digested.

Grain-eating animals teach us how to eat grain; or at least, how to

masticate farinaceous food. We may well learn from the carnivore an

analogous lesson——not, however, necessarily dispensing with knife and

fork, napkin or finger-bowl, nor any other improvement over their

primitive fashions!

THE POINT IS THAT FLESH-FOOD,

unlike starchy foods, requires stomach digestion only (as against any

change in the mouth), and only when taken in the natural manner, that is,

substantially as meat-eating animals take it, is it retained in the

stomach for a sufficient length of time to be dissolved by the gastric

juice; but much of it passes on into the intestine prematurely

(explaining, in great measure, the many cases of inflammation of the

bowels, as well as the frequent lesser disturbances), and doubtless a

considerable proportion is absorbed in a more or less fermented state,

adding thereby impure elements to the blood, and predisposing the

individual to inflammatory disease. On the contrary, if meat is swallowed

in pieces of moderate size, each piece being acted upon at the surface

gradually dissolves from the outside, and so is perfectly changed by the

gastric juice before leaving the stomach. In personal experiments I find

much less inconvenience from eating flesh-food in this manner than results

when I treat it as we have always been taught to. It may be well to

caution against eating a large portion of meat in this manner at first; it

would give the stomach a new experience and likely enough create

disturbance. One-half the usual amount, taken naturally, would yield as

much nourishment as the full ration, perhaps; at any rate the change

should be made gradually (see pp. 50-158, for further consideration of the

animal food question). The following from the _Practitioner_, corresponds

(as far as M. Semmola carries the point) with my view of the matter

entirely, as regards the nature of the malady. Albuminuria, or excess of

albumen (that is, unappropriated albuminoids in the circulation, and which

are consequently excretory matters), must necessarily result from any or

all of the causes I have named——causes of indigestion. Says the

_Practitioner_:

“At a recent meeting of the Paris Academy of Medicine, M. Semmola, of

Naples (‘Progrès médical,’ June 9, 1883), brought forward a new theory

with regard to the causation of Bright’s disease. This malady he regards

as not essentially renal, but as consisting in a general morbid alteration

of nutrition, and observes that albumen in such cases is not passed by the

urine only, but by all the secretory organs. This alteration [or, rather,

I should say, the lack of alteration by digestion] deprives the albuminoid

materials of the blood of their power of being assimilated, and so causes

their excretion by the emunctories. The renal lesions he ascribes to

mechanical irritation of the tubules of the kidney by the constant passage

of albumen through them. Albuminuria is therefore a cause, not a result,

of renal disease.[93] M. Simmola founds these views on a series of

experiments on animals. He injected into the blood-vessels various

substances containing albumen, as white of egg, milk, and blood-serum,

with the result of inducing artificial Bright’s disease. White of egg was

most active in this way.”

[Footnote 93: And this only one of the hundred and one instances, in

medical practice, of “cart before the horse,” which may make the

difference of life or death with every patient under treatment!]

3 [NOTE TO PAGE 169.]

WATER AS MEDICINE AND FOOD.——There is no royal road to health once deeply

diseased. In certain cases, and for a limited period even in these, hot

water is invaluable. But if long continued——used as a constant beverage

instead of a temporary expedient to aid in removing the slime and “gurry”

from stomachs deeply coated[94]——the effect will be to keep this organ

weak, as a number of Turkish baths every day would enfeeble, in time, the

strongest man. One valid objection to tea, chocolate, and coffee is, that

they are usually taken hot (see “Coffee, etc.”).

[Footnote 94: Such patients require a more or less extended fast. This is

always safe, and in desperate cases the only means by which the necessary

absorbing and healing process can be assured (see pp. 62-71-73-169). The

stomach of a healthy creature is, when simply rinsed, absolutely clean and

free from offensive matters; but the constipated dyspeptic, or the

consumptive, and many acutely diseased persons, have stomachs which

resemble that of an old, stall-fed ox, which has to be scraped by the hour

before the meanest tripe-eater would buy it, or place it upon his table at

any price. Yet a great deal of this kind of tripe is eaten by stall-fed

people every day. The flesh of healthy cattle finds no place in our

markets nor on our tables. Beef creatures are fed for fatness and

tenderness, which is disease.]

_Warm_ water is about the most effectual remedy known to me for acute

dyspepsia. It should be drunk profusely, even to stomach distension, with

finger exploration, if necessary, to produce vomiting; then a few cupfuls

to retain, to wash away any residue of undigested food, dilute the blood,

etc. But cool, fresh water is the beverage _par excellence_ for all the

year round (see pp. 76-90-100).

4 [NOTE ON “NATURAL DIET.”]

With regard to the suggestion, on page 211, of using milk to wet

farinaceous foods, in place of depending solely upon the natural

mouth-juices, I wish to say that it was felt by me, at the time, to be

entirely unphysiological, and by no means the best way to manage. I now

wish to urge that in so far as any one chooses to test the advantages of

this regimen he will not depart from a truly natural way, so far as the

natural way is possible; but rather use the whole grain, or the whole meal

dry, and take the milk (if indulged in at all) by itself, and fruit

likewise——after the grain. Several remarkable cases have occurred since

this book was first issued, in which the curative powers of this diet have

been displayed in a most marked manner. I take occasion to mention one.

Mrs. L., of Lee, N. H., had been suffering for eight years, during which

she had been able to walk but little. She was growing worse, and finally

was pronounced by her physician incurably diseased with “ovarian tumor.”

After six months’ use of uncooked food——a breakfast of fruit only, with

dinner at night composed of unsifted wheat meal (from one-third to

one-half cupful, at first, the amount increased later with increased

exercise); dry, followed with a little fruit——she is up and about the

house, aiding in the housework, and the past week did the entire family

ironing. She has been for eight years a great sufferer, but all her pains

have been banished, and her strength and general health are steadily

improving under a continuance of the diet as above described, together

with light, loose clothing, much fresh air, air-baths, self hand-rubbing,

and gradually increasing exercise from very small beginnings.

5 [NOTE TO PAGE 232.]

THE LONG-SOUGHT PRINCIPLE.-It is confessedly a standing disgrace to our

profession that, after all the boasted “progress in medicine” during

these hundreds of years of research and experimentation, not one great

principle has been established by means of which the people can be, even

if disposed (and it can hardly be said that they are, generally), guided

toward perfect health. It is charged that vegetarianism, even, has failed

to speedily make sound, bright-eyed, clear-skinned, healthy and therefore

handsome men and women, out of life-long “sinners” against the laws of

life; and it must be admitted that not all its promises are verified in

practice, although it seldom fails to greatly improve all who adopt the

regimen (imperfect as it is——and it is very imperfect) as practiced at the

various hygienic Cures at home and abroad. The trouble is that

food-reformers have only undertaken to modify, with half-way measures——to

change a very bad diet for one far from good, one form of “mush” for

another less harmful, but by no means physiological. I would assert here

as the one all-sufficient principle, so far as physical health is

concerned, looking to the rearing of children, that if we were to take a

thousand new-born infants——good, bad, and indifferent, as to

inheritance——and give them pure cow’s milk, avoiding the cramming that is

universally practiced; say, give them two full meals, or three moderate

ones a day (the quantity altogether gauged by the individual’s digestive

capacity); and, as they should arrive at suitable age (_i. e._, as teeth

began to develop), feed them on strictly natural food——the natural

diet——fruits, and grains (in winter, soaked twelve hours in little

water[95]), the fruit in large proportion; give them a chance to develop

normally, such as other young animals have——_i.e._, give them freedom from

holding, tending, baby-carting, and the like, except in the smallest

measure; dress them lightly, keep them free from foul air, by sufficient

ventilation of all living rooms; give them the utmost freedom of the lawns

or the ground——outdoor exercise——give them this sort of treatment, and not

five per cent. would die under five years of age, nor, with fair regard

for the known laws of life, would many fail to reach old age in health.

The at present supposably-inevitable “diseases of infancy and childhood”

could not exist. The influence of the constant tending and holding to

which all infants are subjected is disastrous in a twofold degree: (1) for

many months they are prevented from taking much voluntary exercise, and

(2) this makes the involuntary cramming relatively more excessive; hence

they grow fat and disordered in every way, and predisposed to all manner

of sicknesses. Children scarcely ever have occasion to use their teeth.

The food in use requires no chewing. Little demand is made upon the

salivary glands (for food is hot, moist, and “goes down itself”); hence

these glands, which consequently fail to develop normally, become at some

time acutely diseased, or finally almost if not entirely useless. Hollow,

sunken cheeks result from this cause. It was never designed to remedy this

defect with fat. The parotid glands and the cheek muscles should be

developed and maintained by physiological eating. The teeth for want of

use fail, as the muscular system declines through indolence. Unnatural

food, fast eating, overeating, poor teeth, dentists, “mumps,” plethora,

and febrile diseases, or chronic dyspepsia, and all manner of

ailments——this is the present order of things (see advertisement of “How

to Feed the Baby”).

[Footnote 95: This treatment restores the flinty grain (wheat, rye,

barley, maize, sweet corn) to its natural plumpness and masticability.

There should be little or no liquid to turn off.]

6. TIRED FROM INACTION: TOO MUCH “REST.”

The person who works to-day and gets tired, perhaps almost exhausted,

feels sure from former experiences that he will rise next morning well

able to work again; and providing he does not overdraw the account

continually, the more he does the more he can do. It is upon this

principle that our athletes acquire and maintain condition.

But the consumptive, the delicate person, who, as is the case generally,

has grown weaker and weaker from doing less and less (and this is in

accordance with natural law), becomes at last “tired” in such a manner,

that without an entire change——a right about face——there is no such thing

as getting rested this side the grave. This exhaustion from indolence must

be changed for the tiredness resulting from physical exertion, or there is

no hope of “cure.” Friends must learn the error of their ways; they must

cease the eternal discouragement of the loved one; there must be no more

of the incessant, “Now, Jenny, sit right down——you will get too tired”;

“There, now, let me do that——you know how little it takes to tire you”;

“You are crazy to think of going outdoors such a day as this,” etc., etc.

(see page 85). However kindly meant all this is, it is, in practice,

“hitting a man when he is down”; while the usual encouragement to eat

(digestion or no digestion)——to eat (appetite or no appetite——the inaction

often forbidding all desire for food) is, to use a sporting phrase, a

companion “slugger” that finally knocks the weakling off the stage. This

is what produces the phlegm as fast as the poor victim can cough it up.

Because he has nothing to do——because he does nothing——but ponder over his

condition, eat, manufacture phlegm and “raise” it, he lowers himself more

and more, until he gets to the bottom. He has “raised” about everything;

only the frame, the skeleton, is left to bury (see pp. 72, 78, 92, 97,

104).

A FEW OF THE MANY NOTES FROM READERS OF THE FIRST

EDITION OF “NATURAL CURE.”

J. RUSS, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the

‘colds’ question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the

book——it is, in fact, invaluable, going to the very root of the cause of

sickness.”

Mrs. W. O. THOMPSON, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I wish every

friend I have could read it, and, only that hygienists never harbor

ill-feeling, that my enemies might not chance to find it. I owe much to

the truths made clear in ‘Natural Cure’; more, indeed, than to all the

health literature I have ever read (and I had read much, because I had

much need); and it is certain that my sister-in-law owes her life and

present robust health to the professional attendance of its author.”

FROM A TEACHER.

Mrs. S. S. GAGE, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., says:

“My friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to me.

Thanks to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more; I am

cured of catarrh and partial deafness, and, in fact, am better in every

way. I never could accomplish so much and with so little fatigue; and I am

sure that all my intellectual work is of better quality than it ever was

before.”

FROM A HUSBAND.

D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in ‘Natural

Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent intervals for forty

years, return no more. Formerly I could not work for three days at a time,

now I work right along. For this, as well as for the restoration of my

wife to health, after we had given her up as fatally sick, I have to thank

Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”

FROM THE WIFE.

Mrs. S. E. D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H., says: “I can not well express my

gratitude for the benefit I have received from this book and the author’s

personal counsel. Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly wonderful

how the power of resting is increased under the influence of the regimen

prescribed. I have distributed many copies of this book, and have known of

_a life-long asthmatic cured, biliousness removed, perennial hay fever

banished_ for good, and other wonderful changes produced, by means of the

regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A friend remarked: ‘It is full of

encouragement for those who wish to live in clean bodies.’ Another said:

‘It has proved to me that I have been committing slow suicide.’ Our

minister says: ‘I have modified my diet and feel like a new man.’”

To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s first book, “HOW TO FEED THE

BABY”: “I have known of a number of babes changed from colicky, fretful

children to happy well ones, making them a delight to their parents, by

following its advice.”

* * * * *

WILLIAM C. LANGLEY, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited

from reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from

inherited feebleness, or who, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the

need of making the most of their limited powers. I may add, that this work

bears evidence that the author has had wide range and extensive reading,

together with a natural fitness for physiological and hygienic research,

keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”

SOLOMON ALEXANDER, No. 252 East Fifty-second Street, New York, says: “I

have been greatly benefited by Dr. Page’s treatment for inflammatory

rheumatism and Bright’s disease, and am now steadily improving under his

direction.” July 27, 1883. (Now well, November, 1883.)

Mrs. Dr. DENSMORE, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge of

my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it of the

publishers by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY for September, 1883, says: “The author gives

several remarkable examples of wonderful cures which he knows of having

been effected by following the principles he lays down——principles which

may be followed with profit, and the following of which may relieve many

cases regarded as desperate; and he has given the public a most valuable

manual of hygiene.”

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for August, 1883, says: “An effort at impressing

common-sense views of preserving and restoring health.”

_Several hundreds_ of most flattering notices from secular and religious

journals, on file at the publishers’ office, indicate how this work is

being received by the public.

SPECIAL NOTE.

It is evident from the nature of the press notices of “The Natural Cure,”

that the prefatorial request has been very generally complied with, and

that not only have critics managed to obtain an understanding of the

author’s position as regards the only certain means for physical

improvement from low conditions, but they are disposed to sustain him in

that position. Here and there one, however, as was to be expected, from

ignorance of natural law, from personal preferences or notions, from faith

in the old way (which has so long been on trial and so signally failed),

has failed to comprehend the matter. Diving into the middle of the book,

selecting some chapter or paragraph which forbids a consumptive or any

frail patient, while _doing_ nothing, to eat like a woodchopper or a

railroad hand, and especially warns such from eating worse kinds of food

than the man of mighty strength who might, through the influence of active

outdoor pursuits, get rid of considerable coffee, pie, cakes, pickles,

etc., and (providing his diet included plenty of coarse food) even thrive

in spite of a good deal of such material (for we know that many indoor

loafers, even, are too tough to be speedily killed by such a

diet)——carping critics, we mean to say, selecting some special paragraph

have held the advice up as “too radical in theory.” But no person of sound

mind can read this book _through_ with even a fair degree of care, and not

learn that its chief aim is to teach people who are now starving, or who

are at best poorly nutrified, and, next to these, the well ones who mean

to keep on the safe side, the way to live in order to be well nourished

and free from the pains, aches, and sicknesses which cover the land with

wrecks of human beings——dying——who might better _live_ in clean, sound,

and easy bodies.

THE MAN WONDERFUL

IN

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

AN ALLEGORY.

TEACHING THE PRINCIPLES OF PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE, AND THE EFFECTS

OF STIMULANTS AND NARCOTICS.

FOR HOME READING.

=Also adapted as a Reader for High Schools, and as a Text-book

for Grammar, Intermediate, and District Schools.=

BY CHILION B. ALLEN, A.M., LL.B., M.D., AND MARY A. ALLEN, A.B., M.D.

=Fully Illustrated, Extra Cloth, 12mo, Price $1.50.=

* * * * *

A work almost as wonderful as the subject of which it treats. The motive

is to teach that the most beautiful, and, at the same time, the most

wonderful thing in nature is man; and no one can read these chapters

without feeling that the authors have accomplished their task.

The book is an allegory in which the body is the “=House Beautiful=,” and

its inhabitant the “=Man Wonderful=.” The building of the house is shown

from foundation to roof, and then we are taken through the different

rooms, and their wonders and beauties displayed to us, and all this time

we are being taught——almost without knowing it——Anatomy, Physiology, and

Hygiene, with practical applications and suggestions.

We are then introduced to the inhabitant of the house, “THE MAN

WONDERFUL,” and learn of his growth, development, and habits. We also

become acquainted with the guests whom he entertains, and find that some

of them are doubtful acquaintances, some bad, and some decidedly wicked,

while others are very good company. Under this form we learn of food,

drink, and the effects of narcotics and stimulants.

The Table of Contents by Chapters has these striking subjects:

The “Foundations,” which are the bones. The “Walls” are the muscles, while

the skin and hair are called the “Siding and Shingles.” The head is an

“Observatory” in which are found a pair of “Telescopes,” and radiating

from it are the nerves compared to a “Telegraph” and “Phonograph.” The

communications are kept up with the “Kitchen,” “Dining-Room,” “Butler’s

Pantry,” “Laundry,” and “Engine.” The house is heated by a “Furnace,”

which is also a “Sugar Manufactory.” Nor is the house without mystery, for

it contains a number of “Mysterious Chambers.” It is protected by a

wonderful “Burglar Alarm,” and watched over by various “Guardians.” A pair

of charming “Windows” adorn the “Façade,” and a “Whispering Gallery”

offers a delightful labyrinth for our wanderings.

In fact, the book is more wonderful than a fairy tale, more intensely

interesting than a romance, and more replete with valuable truths than any

book of the present day.

The authors——husband and wife——are both regular physicians, and besides

graduating in the best schools of America, spent three years under the

best instructors in Vienna, Paris, and London.

They have been teachers and know what will aid both teacher and scholar,

and have kept in mind the fact that many teachers will be called upon to

teach these subjects who will feel the need of aids, which they will find

in the questions, which are so arranged with exponents in the text that

the lessons are easily comprehended.

The book will be sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price, $1.50.

Agents wanted, to whom special terms will be given. Address

HOW TO FEED

THE BABY,

TO MAKE HER HEALTHY AND HAPPY. With Health

Hints. By C. E. PAGE, M.D. 12mo, paper. 50 cts.; ex. clo., 75 cts.

Dr. PAGE has devoted much attention to the subject, both in this country

and in Europe, noting the condition of children, and then making careful

inquiries as to the feeding, care, etc., and this work is a special record

of experience with his own child. We know this manual will be welcomed by

many mothers in all parts of the land, as one of the most vital questions

with parents is How to feed the baby, to promote its health, its growth,

and its happiness. In addition to answering the question what to feed the

baby, this volume tells _how_ to feed the baby, which is of equal

importance.

That the work may be considered worthy of a wide circulation may be seen

from the following, selected from many

=NOTICES OF THE PRESS.=

“The book should be read by every person who has the care of

children, especially of infants, and those who have the good

sense to adopt its suggestions will reap a rich reward, we

believe, in peace for themselves and comfort for the babies.”--

_Boston Journal of Commerce._

“We wish every mother and father too could read it, as we

believe it is founded on common-sense and the true theory of

infantile life.”——_Eve. Farmer_, Bridgeport, Conn.

“His treatise ought to be in the hands of young mothers

particularly, who might save themselves a deal of trouble by

studying it.”——_Brooklyn Eagle._

“Should interest mothers; for it is a really scientific and

sensible solution of the problem of health and happiness in the

nursery.”——_Buffalo Courier._

“‘How to Feed the Baby’ ought to do good if widely read; for

there can be no doubt that thousands of babies die from

ignorance on this very subject.”——_American Bookseller._

“It is as odd as its title, and is funny, interesting,

entertaining, and instructive.”——_Times_, Biddeford, Me.

“We know this manual will be welcomed by many mothers in all

parts of the land, as one of the most important questions with

parents is how to feed the baby, to promote its health, its

growth, and its happiness.”——_Christian Advocate_, Buffalo, N.

Y.

“Our author makes plain how infantile diseases may, in great

measure, be avoided, and infantile life made as free and joyous

as that of the most fortunate among the lower animals.”--

_Central Baptist._

“Dr. Page is a benefactor of this age, in having made it a

special study——the care and feeding of the infant.”——_People’s

Journal._

“If mothers would read this book, we think fewer infants would

‘make night hideous’ with their cries.”——_Homestead._

“‘How to Feed the Baby’ should be taken home by every father to

the mother of his children, if he values quiet nights, and is

not inclined to pay heavy doctors’ bills, or bring up sickly

children.”——_Food and Health._

“It is safe to say that in proportion as this book is circulated

and its teachings followed, will the rate of infant mortality

decrease.”——_Christian Standard._

Will be sent by mail, post-paid, to any address on receipt of price 50

cts.

Health in the Household,

OR

HYGIENIC COOKERY.

BY SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.

This work is divided into three parts; the first part, giving the “=Reason

Why=,” is published separately as above.

PART SECOND contains the “=Hygienic Dietary=.” Here we have directions for

the preparation of food, recipes for cooking, etc., in what the author

considers a strictly healthful manner; including breads of all kinds, the

preservation of fruits, vegetables, etc.

PART THIRD is what the author calls “=The Compromise=,” containing

directions for preparing food, not strictly in accordance with the

Hygienic way, but in such a manner as to render it more plain and

healthful than it is ordinarily found; and it will prove helpful and

suggestive to many who find it difficult, on account of surrounding

circumstances, to adopt the more strict Hygienic cookery.

Complete in one large volume, 600 pages, extra cloth or oil-cloth binding,

A NEW BOOK.

HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD;

OR,

HYGIENIC COOKERY

=By SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.=

One large 12mo vol., 600 pp., extra cloth or oil-cloth. Price, $2.00.

The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she is

both A physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably the

best work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and should be

in the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare food healthfully

and palatably. The best way and the reason why are given. It is complete

in every department. To show something of what is thought of this work, we

copy a few brief extracts from the many

=NOTICES OF THE PRESS.=

“This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about

wholesome food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes

in a way that will make luxuries for the palate out of many

simple productions of Nature which are now lost by a vicious

cookery.”——_Home Journal._

“Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the

equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors.

Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with

all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with

an ample household liberality. Every purse and every taste will

find in Mrs. Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for

efficient kitchen administration.”——_N. Y. Star._

“The book can not fail to be of great value in every household

to those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s

stand-point. And there are but few who will not concede that it

would be a public benefit if our people generally would become

better informed as to the better mode of living than the author

intends.”——_Scientific American._

“She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is

eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of

recipes for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator

of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”——_The

Daily Inter-Ocean_, Chicago, Ill.

“The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every

well-regulated cuisine.”——_Indianapolis Journal._

“As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery,

there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings

the subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an

average housekeeper.”——_Methodist Recorder._

“In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject

scientifically, and yet has made her instructions entirely

practical. The book will certainly prove useful, and if its

precepts could be universally followed, without doubt human life

would be considerably lengthened.”——_Springfield Union._

“Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It

seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous

literature on this subject, which ordinarily has little

reference to the hygienic character of the preparations which

are described.”——_Zion’s Herald._

“This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while

yet based upon scientific principles——in short, the best. If it

were in every household, there would be far less misery in the

world.”——_South and West._

“There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of

occasion for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well

as the common style of diet.”——_Morning Star._

the phrenological organs, and their natural language. The Head is about

paper 19 × 24 ins., properly mounted, with rings for hanging, or may be

framed, and will be very attractive wherever it is seen. Price $1.00. Is

[Illustration]

The Phrenological Bust.

This Bust is made of Plaster of Paris, and so lettered as to show the

exact location of each of the Phrenological Organs. The head is nearly

life-size, and very ornamental, deserving a place on the centre-table or

mantel in parlor, office or study. This, with the illustrated key which

accompanies each Bust, should be in the hands of all who would know “How

to READ CHARACTER.” Price, $1.00, or given as a Premium to each new

subscriber to the Journal, or we will send the Chart Premium.

THE

PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL

Is widely known in America and Europe, having been before the reading

world fifty years, and occupying a place in literature exclusively its

own, viz., the study of HUMAN NATURE in all its phases, including

Phrenology, Physiognomy, Ethnology, Physiology, etc., together with the

“SCIENCE OF HEALTH,” and no expense will be spared to make it the best

publication for general circulation, tending always to make men better

physically, mentally, and morally. Parents and teachers should read the

JOURNAL, that they may better know how to govern and train their children.

Young people should read the JOURNAL, that they may make the most of

themselves. It has long met with the hearty approval of the press and the

people.

_N. Y. Times_ says: “THE PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL proves that the increasing

years of a periodical is no reason for its lessening its enterprise or for

diminishing its abundance of interesting matter. If all magazines

increased in merit as steadily as The PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL, they would

deserve in time to show equal evidences of popularity.”

_Christian Union_ says: “It is well known as a popular storehouse for

useful thought. It teaches men to know themselves, and constantly presents

matters of the highest interest to intelligent readers, and has the

advantage of having always been not only ‘up with the times,’ but _a

little in advance_. Its popularity shows the result of enterprise and

brains.”

=TERMS.=——The JOURNAL is published monthly at $2.00 a year, or 20 cents a

Number. To each new subscriber is given either the BUST or CHART Premium

described above. When the Premiums are sent, 15 cents extra must be
